A new destination shopping and entertainment complex has been inaugurated near Lakewood Ranch! After years of discussion and then construction, the Mall at University Town Center’s 880,000 square feet of retail space opened with Saks Fifth Avenue, Macy’s, Dillard’s and more than 100 stores and restaurants. Making the Mall unique is the fact that many of the distinctive retailers are not found anywhere else in the local area, offering a diverse mix of fashion and lifestyle boutiques, combined with popular favorites, sit-down restaurants and a children’s play area.

The Mall Is Sarasota’s Largest Shopping Venue

The Mall at University Town Center is much bigger than what we have seen previously dedicated to retail in Sarasota. And in addition to retail, there is a diverse range of dining options with everything from the upmarket Capital Grill to the casual fare at the Cheesecake Factory. The new mall will be a great boost for Sarasota’s tourism as for many visitors, shopping is a favorite activity—second to the beach of course! In addition, the new mall and its many stores and restaurants provides an expansive number of job opportunities.

Homes for sale in this green-certified community are arranged in a number of neighborhoods, focused around the community’s Main Street, itself a vibrant shopping destination and the community’s three unique golf courses.
